One challenge many businesses may face is the ability to add database-driven functionality to their website. And the challenge comes two-fold; web applications such as searchable databases not only need a user-friendly interface for the front-end, but more importantly, they also require a database to be connected to the back-end for easy data capturing, storage, and updates. Traditionally, accomplishing the latter would only be possible through server-side programming such as PHP, ASPX, or ASP, with the help from a web developer.

Designed with tech-savvy business users in mind, Caspio provides an all-in-one platform for Yola users to build database-driven applications using point-and-click wizards instead of coding. With a centralized cloud database built into the platform, every Caspio-powered application is database-driven, which helps users streamline the entire process of app building and data management.

Deploying an application on your Yola website is fast and easy. Once you finish creating an app, say a web form, all you need to do is drag-and-and drop the HTML widget wherever you’d like it to be placed on your website, and simply copy-and-paste a snippet of code within your widget. Voila! Your web form has been created in no time.

Here’s a video that shows how you can create a searchable contacts database and embed it on a Yola website in just 5 minutes:
